  1. Re:What's with the spokes? on Revolutionary New View of Baby Planets Forming Around a Star · · Score: 2

    Interplay with some of the close moons of Saturn: Daphnis

  2. Re:Send them to China or India for training on Antares Rocket Explodes On Launch · · Score: 1

    China and India have had their share of mishaps over the years.

    China: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... (watch out the volume is jacked)
    India: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

    This is the cost of doing business, when something goes wrong it goes spectacularly wrong.

  3. Re:How could they mess this up??! on Antares Rocket Explodes On Launch · · Score: 1

    Nope, its rocket surgery.

  4. Winter on Michigan Builds Driverless Town For Testing Autonomous Cars · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I am glad they picked a location that experiences Winter in all its harshness. I always wondered how an autonomous car would deal with all the challenges that Winter driving poses. Black ice and snow covered surfaces are the worst of the conditions, but throw in snow patches, high winds, variable visual conditions, etc and the software will probably start showing its weaknesses.

  5. Re:Profitable, if self-contradictory on Elon Musk: We Must Put a Million People On Mars To Safeguard Humanity · · Score: 1

    HOW YOUR FEET FEEL IN YOUR SOCKS!

    I guess I am disqualified due to the fact that I am not wearing socks.

  6. Re:*Patrick Stewart facepalm* on Wil Wheaton Announces New TV Show · · Score: 1

    Nobody puts Baby in the corner

  7. or fix healthcare.gov on Silicon Valley's Youth Problem · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would sooner do surgery on my leg with a spoon than work for the low-bidder, over-commit, under-deliver wreck of a shop that CGI represents.

  8. Can't seriously expect us to swallow that tripe on Chevron Gives Residents Near Fracking Explosion Free Pizza · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Eastern Ontario - sunny and clear on Massive Storm Buries US East Coast In Snow and Ice · · Score: 1

    A. What is Maritimer?

    Some one from one of these four provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland. They all touch the Atlantic, therefore they are called the Maritime provinces.

    B. What does peeling the label off long neck beer bottles mean?

    Bow-chicka-wow-wow!

  10. Killer Bees on The Death Cap Mushroom Is Spreading Across the US · · Score: 2

    Looks like the Killer Bees brought it with them from Mexico.

  11. Eat more on Google Fiber Launches In Provo — and Here's What It Feels Like · · Score: 0

    Fiber

  12. Re:please report in standard units on BT and Alcatel-Lucent Record Real-World Fibre Optic Speed of 1.4Tbps In the UK · · Score: 1

    Ya, but how many football fields is that?

  13. Re:Invisibility cloak! on 'Darkness Ray' Beams Invisibility From a Distance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So THATS where all my socks went to!

  14. Re:Reasons - He probably had a kid on Kdenlive Developer Jean-Baptiste Mardelle Is Missing · · Score: 1

    Can't think of anything else which would mandate sudden interruptions of this kind

    I can, maybe he had a kid. Kids tend to put things in perspective. If he had a 9-5 then time really got tight for "Open Source" initiatives, namely diapers, sleepless nights and spending quality time with family.

  15. Live Coverage on MAVEN Ready To Launch Today · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av038/status.html

    Any other links out there? I generally use Spaceflight Now for the text updats along with the live feed.

  16. Re:Nice, but... on Experts Hail Quantum Computer Memory Stability Breakthrough · · Score: 4, Funny

    I fail to see how KFC can leverage this technology... unless of course... they can make the elusive "n" down sandmich. O now that is ebil.

  17. Lowest bidder wins... on "War Room" Notes Describe IT Chaos At Healthcare.gov · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But ends up costing multiple times more in the end.

  18. W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G... on Write Windows Phone Apps, No Code Required · · Score: 3, Funny

    is S.H.I.T.

  19. Re:Obligatory: on 20 People Shot With BB Guns At LG G2 Promotional Event · · Score: 2

    Right up there with "chi chi rod-ode-wheez". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_fq4RQgwuA

  20. Servers on Microsoft Has 1 Million Servers. So What? · · Score: 1

    servers... servers... servers... servers.. servers...

  21. Re:Cobol is self-documenting on The Pentagon's Seven Million Lines of Cobol · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In trying to replace the program, the Pentagon spent a billion dollars and wasn't successful.

    Translation: the pimps deployed highly effective counter measures to shock and awe the client, the result was a resounding victory of "extended" contracts!

  22. Re:Dashcam? on Russian Rocket Proton-M Crashes At Launch · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here you go... kinda... Proton Failure

  23. It is said... on Iron In Egyptian Relics Came From Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    That only the Egyptian women would search for and collect meteorites for such jewellery.

    These "Iron Maidens" would run to the hills, locate a meteorite, perform a customary dance of death and return to their camps 2 minutes to midnight due to a widespread fear of the dark.

  24. Doubtful on Ask Slashdot: Safe Learning Environment For VMs? · · Score: 0

    Some of my students have become Linux experts.

    Proficient... believable. Experts... doubtful

  25. Re:Ontario - Canada's fat, lazy province on Water Isolated for Over a Billion Years Found Under Ontario · · Score: 1

    Yeah, one and a half miles deep

    I don't understand your "funny" numbers. The water was found 2.8 km underground.
